Instagram Account Audience brands API

Find Instagram profiles by audience brands from 97.2M searchable profiles

Is there an API to find Instagram creators by audience brand affinity?

Yes. The Influencers.club Discovery API filters Instagram creator profiles by the brands the audience already engages with. Pass one or more exact values from the audience brands dictionary — like “Nike” — and get back full profiles with follower counts, engagement rates and verified contact data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which audience brands values are accepted?+

Only exact values from the audience brands dictionary. Pull the accepted list from the free classifier endpoint and validate before you search — anything outside it returns zero results rather than a near match.

Where can I find my API key?+

Create a free account. You will find your API key through the API side menu.

How do I find creators by audience brand affinity using your API?+

Simply sign up for free, copy your API key, then POST to the Discovery endpoint with filters.audience.brands set. You’ll get Instagram profiles ready to be ingested for your use case.

What are your pricing plans and what do they include?+

Paid plans start at $249/month and use a flexible credit-based model.

Each API call consumes a specific number of credits depending on the endpoint and data depth. You can compare all tiers, credit amounts, and per-endpoint costs in the Pricing section of our API docs.
